Citrix ADC MPX
Citrix Web App Firewall appliances. You can use any of the following interfaces for the initial configu‑
ration of your appliance:
• First‑time use wizard: If you use a web browser to connect to the appliance, you are prompted
to enter the network configuration and licensing information, if it is not already specified.
• LCD keypad: You can specify the network settings, but you must use a dierent interface to
upload your licenses.
• Serial console: Aer connecting to the serial console, you can use the Citrix ADC command line
to specify the network settings and upload your licenses,
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): To configure an appliance from a remote net‑
work, use DHCP to assign each new appliance an IP address at which you can access the appli‑
ance for remote configuration. You can also use DHCP to install multiple Citrix ADC appliances
and then configure them without using the console port.
For initial configuration, use the default password as both the administrative user name and the pass‑
word. For subsequent access, use the password assigned during initial configuration.
Aer you complete the initial configuration of the appliance, you can configure secure access to your
appliance. As a result, you are no longer prompted for a password when logging on. This configura‑
tion is especially helpful in environments for which you would otherwise have to keep track of many
passwords.
Using the first‑time setup wizard
To configure a Citrix ADC appliance (or Citrix ADC virtual appliance) for the first time, you need an
administrative computer configured on the same network as the appliance.
Assign a Citrix ADC IP (NSIP) address as the management IP address of your Citrix ADC appliance. You
access the appliance for configuration, monitoring, and other management tasks at this address. As‑
sign a subnet IP (SNIP) address for your Citrix ADC to communicate with the back‑end servers. Specify
a host name to identify your appliance, an IP address for a DNS server to resolve domain names, and
the time zone in which your appliance is located.
The wizard automatically appears if any of the following conditions are met:
• The appliance is configured with the default IP address.
• A subnet IP address is not configured.
• Licenses are not present on the appliance.
Perform first‑time configuration of your appliance
